Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell made Oscar history by becoming the two youngest two-time winners in Academy Awards history, picking up the best song trophy for “What Was I Made For?” from the “Barbie” soundtrack.
The pop-star siblings previously won for “No Time to Die,” the title song for the 2022 James Bond film. Eilish, at 22, is now the youngest two-time winner in Oscar history; O’Connell, at 26, is believed to be the second youngest dual winner.
“What Was I Made For?” was one of two nominated “Barbie” songs. While “I’m Just Ken” was performed on-camera in the film, Eilish’s ballad added emotional depth to the story and was widely predicted to win as the heart song of Barbie.
Eilish and O’Connell had already won the Golden Globe and two Grammys for the song, along with Society of Composers & Lyricists honors. The Eilish song garnered an estimated 633 million streams, further solidifying its position as a favorite.
The duo’s success at the Oscars cements their position as rising stars in the music industry, with their creative collaboration continuing to capture the hearts of audiences worldwide. They have undoubtedly left a lasting impact on the music scene with their exceptional talent and dedication.
